Price on rear remotes

[fluffers]

So I asked the dealer that I am buying my l5740 how much to add rear remotes and he quoted me $2000!!
Did not think it would cost that much. does that sound right or should/can I do it myself getting parts from another vendor??- Is is hard to install?- thanks as always

I thought you already bought a Tractor.

Do some searches on this site, there is lots of information and how-to threads.

If ordered with rear remotes, it usually costs less than if you add them later (using factory parts). Using non Kubota parts, you should be able to do it for less (if you have some basic skills).

I had my dealer add a set of rear remotes to my Kioti DK for $350. $2000 is rapacious. The valve costs the dealer no more than $500 and it takes at most a few hours to install.

I believe for 2 rear remotes (both Float detent valves) on my L4760, it cost me around $1500 installed. For 3 remotes, it would have been around $2100 including labor. You didn't say how many, but if it was for all 3 rear remotes then Kubota factory remotes would probably run you close to $2k (or more) installed.

THANKS -I did buy the tractor just waiting to get it shipped from dealer so I thought I would have them install remotes before I shipped= where would I get them after market??

I recently bought 2 rear remotes for my L5740 from a local dealer. The remotes (2) cost me about $1450. They quoted me $375 to install them.

I had a local welding shop install them, and I haven't got the bill for that yet.

Well, I can't price them out for a 40 series anymore, but for a 60 series, 3 rear remotes, 2 with the float function list out for $2063. So if your dealer will install 3 rear remotes on your L5740 for 2K, I would have to say to go for that if you can swing it.
